Many printmaking techniques involve drawing in its many forms and the techniques taught on this course will bring a new perspective and enjoyment to this fundamental artist’s skill. This course is ideal for artist practitioners working in any medium who would like to gain an understanding of print techniques and re-engage with the drawn mark. 

Students will be able to: 

  • Use printmaking tools and equipment correctly and safely. 
  • Create images using experimental combinations of printmaking techniques.
